Mental arithmetic is the invaluable maths skill of doing calculations in your head, without the use of any tools, such as a calculator or pen and paper, or fingers! It can come in handy in countless everyday situations, from working out the best multi-buy deal in the supermarket, to calculating how long you will need to wait for the next train.

Hegyi I, Hidvegi T, Jermendy G, Nadas J, Vasas I. Assessment of cardiometabolic risk among shift workers in Hungary. Health Qual Life Outcome. 2012;10:18. The mean values for TC, TG, low density lipoproteins (LDL) and very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) were significantly higher among the shift workers compared to controls (Table 1). These results agreed with prior studies on elevated cholesterol levels among shift workers [ 21] and on elevated TG associated with shift work [ 5, 26, 27]. This may be due to high incidence of reduced sleep duration associated with the shift workers. Reduced sleep has been linked to disruption of biological rhythms and hence dyslipidaemia [ 28]. An alternative explanation could be that the subjects may have eaten during the night shift. This is however a remote possibility, since subjects who admitted to eating during night shift were disqualified from the study. Mental arithmetic also helps to develop a real understanding of the mathematical methods of arithmetic, rather than just doing calculations through a process of memorization.

But in particular, there are a few unique ways these empires were forged.

As you have found out from the examples above, mental maths skills are all about breaking a problem down into numbers that are easy to deal with in your head. Sometimes we need to turn the calculation around and think of it in a different way.This one looks even harder than the others, but no matter how large the numbers involved, you can still break the calculation down in to simple chunks.

In the spring of 1714, Bach was promoted to Konzertmeister, an honour that entailed performing a church cantata monthly in the castle church. [41] The first three cantatas in the new series Bach composed in Weimar were Himmelskönig, sei willkommen, BWV 182, for Palm Sunday, which coincided with the Annunciation that year; Weinen, Klagen, Sorgen, Zagen, BWV 12, for Jubilate Sunday; and Erschallet, ihr Lieder, erklinget, ihr Saiten!BWV 172 for Pentecost. [42] Bach's first Christmas cantata, Christen, ätzet diesen Tag, BWV 63, was premiered in 1714 or 1715. [43] [44]

Where rounding has been used, totals and sub-totals have been rounded separately and so may not equal the sums of their rounded parts. This also applies to Civilian personnel data expressed in terms of Full-Time Equivalents ( FTE).

Locally Engaged Civilians LEC employees are recruited overseas exclusively for employment in support of the UK Armed Forces. LECs are also employed on terms and conditions analogous with local employment law and market forces, and not those of the UK. Since 1 April 1996 all departments and agencies have had delegated responsibility for the pay and grading of their employees, except for those in the Senior Civil Service ( SCS). The MOD grades are shown here against levels broadly equivalent (in terms of pay and job weight) to the former service-wide grades. MOD grades

Layton, 1876) p52 Max Savelle, Empires to Nations: Expansion in America, 1713-1824 (University of Minnesota Press, 1974) p131 From an early age, Bach studied the works of his musical contemporaries of the Baroque period and those of prior generations, and those influences were reflected in his music. [103] Like his contemporaries Handel, Telemann and Vivaldi, Bach composed concertos, suites, recitatives, da capo arias, and four-part choral music and employed basso continuo. Bach's music was harmonically more innovative than his peer composers, employing surprisingly dissonant chords and progressions, often with extensive exploration of harmonic possibilities within one piece. [104] Despite being born in the same year and only about 130 kilometres (80mi) apart, Bach and Handel never met. In 1719, Bach made the 35-kilometre (22mi) journey from Köthen to Halle with the intention of meeting Handel; however, Handel had left the town. [48] [49] In 1730, Bach's oldest son, Wilhelm Friedemann, travelled to Halle to invite Handel to visit the Bach family in Leipzig, but the visit did not take place.
